FUTURE VIRGINS "EASIEST YEARS" EP (Plan-It-X South, 2009)

So I figure that with Kamikaze Tailspin out of the way and with the "weird hardcore" blog market officially cornered, it might behoove me to share some poppier sensations with you all. Since the first Future Virgins EP is one of the more-often-downloaded things around these parts, and all three of their instant classic EPs are on constant rotation around my house, I figured I'd do you a solid and throw the newest one up.

I previously made the claim that "Gravity" was the best thing this band has done. Not that I'm ever wrong about anything, but I might've been wrong. "Easiest Years" encapsulates five songs that are catchier than chlamydia, expanding upon previous themes of mortality and anti-Christianity while throwing some of their most biting couplets yet out there. The songs are a little bit less deranged are recorded better than previous efforts. but you'll find each one getting stuck in your head at different times. I go back and forth on what my favorite track is on here, but once all is said and done I don't think the closer "Radio Down" can be beaten. Check it out!
